Rebirth of the Tyrant's Pet: Regent Prince is too Fierce

Chaoter 37

Because of the tight deadlines, they did not have enough manpower. There was no way for them to ambush all three gates at the same time. Thus, the originally simple matter became complicated. Now, they could only gamble!

A masked henchman told his employer, "We're pressed for time right now. It was reported that 150 carriages will exit through each of the three gates. However, we have a limited number of men, so we can only block one of the three gates. We also hope that Lord will quickly make a decision. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we will have no way to explain ourselves!"

"Every gate will have 150 carriages? That's three times the initial report; since when did they have that many supplies? Wasn't it supposed to be 150 carriages altogether? Those people from the Ministry of Revenue must have made a mistake!"

At first, the official talked to himself anxiously. He only calmed down after another one of his men rushed in to report.

It turned out that the Crown Prince just issued a secret order for the lieutenant of the Southern Gate to be on standby and send troops to protect the materials after they leave the gate

Although he didn't know why the Crown Prince was willing to help the Ninth Prince, his move did explain one fact. That is, out of the three groups leaving the city, only one will be carrying the supplies!

So now, they are left with one critical issue-which of the three gates will the supplies pass through? Will it be the Southern Gate guarded by the Crown Prince, the originally planned Eastern Gate, or the extremely inconspicuous Western Gate?

The man stroked his beard and pondered.

Having the Ninth Prince leave the capital was originally the Chaoyang Princess' idea. Furthermore, as a person of extraordinary intelligence, if she had indeed planned this herself, which gate would she go through?

No matter how hard the official tried, he could not guess the mind of the little girl. The man waved his hand, signaling for his henchmen. "The Chaoyang Princess is devious. The supplies for Xi Zhou are definitely going to be transported through a single exit. Since they've already left, quickly go and check which group of carriages has the deepest tracks and report to me!"

After receiving his order, the masked man hastily left the compound and soon returned to his employer with the news.

As he panted slightly, the man hastily reported, "We have results! It's really suspicious! The deepest carriage tracks are at the Western Gate, the ones by the Eastern Gate were next deepest, and the shallowest tracks were found by the Southern Gate.

The lord narrowed his eyes and thought deeply before laughing, "That little girl is really clever! What a pity she had to run into this old man.." With a look of confidence, he commanded, "Have everybody at the Eastern Gate lay in wait! The supplies will definitely still exit from there. Do not fall for their diversion!"

The henchman in black did not understand. "Why does Lord say this?"

The old official proudly stroked his beard and explained, "The carriage tracks are deepest going through the Eastern Gate. This must be the princess' plot to mislead us by filling the cargo with rocks and sand. The Southern Gate has the shallowest tracks. What could possibly be in the carriages? Perhaps it's just filled with air? Meanwhile, the Eastern Gate is the most dangerous place, which means it is also the safest. For the Chaoyang Princess to take the opposite kind of path, she could be considered brilliant!"

Seeing him speak so certainly, the man in black said flatteringly, "Unfortunately for her, Lord saw through her plan."

The official laughed and said, "Yes, the Chaoyang Princess originally wanted to scatter our forces, but fortunately, I was able to see her motives. Go and quickly carry out my orders!"

"Yes, Lord!"

After the man in black went his way, the official was left to gloat. "Those barbarians from Xi Zhou only deserve to eat rotten grains and low-quality rice. Hmph, I hope the Ninth Prince enjoys our present to him."

Shili Pavilion.

The group of carriages and people was enormous, making up more than ten thousand people.

Troops of soldiers and horses escorted them to Shili Pavilion before returning to the Southern Gate to report the completion of their duties. At this time, Gong Jue commanded his men to reorganize their carriages. As they went about their errands, the prince suddenly noticed a figure dressed in white sitting in the pavilion. This girl had waited for their arrival for quite a while.

The tip of his brow raised, and with excitement, he urged his horse quickly in her direction.

Gong Yi Mo was originally savoring her wine. When she heard the hoof sounds nearing, she quickly took out a teapot from her space and put on the appearance that she was sipping tea.

As soon as Gong Jue arrived, he could smell a hint of wine in the air, but he did not expose her and instead smiled.

According to the decree, princes were not allowed to leave the capital, yet he was now standing here, completely relaxed.

Gong Jue no longer concealed his feelings. All the negative feelings that built up within him seemed have been swept away, leaving him energetic and high-spirited. When Gong Yi Mo saw him racing towards her on horseback, the elation and excitement in his eyes were the complete opposite of his usual unsettling calmness in the palace. Only now did the bearing of an eleven-year-old boy show itself in a splendid fashion.

Gong Yi Mo secretly nodded to Gong Jue in approval. Seeing him like this helped to somewhat ease the sadness of his departure.

"Sister Gong!"

Gong Yi Mo smiled lightly. "How is it? Is everything going smoothly?"
